Islay Mist 8 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, 75cl, 40% ABV

A bottle of long-running blend Islay Mist from the 1980s. This is a punchy eight-year-old dram from the days that it was blended and bottled by D Johnston & Co, the owners of Laphroaig. We suspect there might be a medicinal tang to this whisky…
